Israeli forces have intercepted a Freedom Flotilla activist ship heading towards Gaza - including a British citizen and ex-United Nations official on board.
A livestream broadcast by the pro-Palestinian campaign group showed the soldiers taking control of the 'Handala' vessel on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the 19 activists onboard could be seen sitting on the ship's deck, holding their hands up and whistling the Italian anti-fascist song 'Bella Ciao'.
Three live video feeds of the scene, broadcast online, were cut minutes later.
The Handala had been on course to try to break an Israeli naval blockade of Gaza and bring a small quantity of humanitarian aid to the territory's Palestinian residents.
